Capcom: Arcades Hit By Consoles

Capcom has expressed its concerns regarding the sustainability of the arcade sector due to the quality between arcade and console titles becoming "negligible".

The Osaka-based publisher spoke of the flagging arcade industry in Japan during its quarterly financial report.

The firm stated that Japanese arcades have in recent times seen a declining rate of visitors. "This was due partially to the lack of sales-inducing games," the company said, "and to the fact that the difference between home video games and arcade games has become negligible."
